• Updated materials workflow — Now, you can create V-Ray materials and assign them to layers directly in Rhino’s Materials panel. You can also apply materials with a simple drag and drop directly onto scene objects or layers.
• Faster interactive rendering — The latest update features more responsive CPU interactive rendering when editing the scene camera, lighting and materials.
• Cryptomatte render element support — Makes it easier to select objects for post-production.
• Temperature color picker — The V-Ray color picker also introduces a Kelvin temperature slider, which automatically provides a corresponding RGB color.
• New in Grasshopper — Even more advanced animation setups with the new advanced value remapping utility component that exposes a bezier curve editor. In addition, you can now load V-Ray library materials in the definition, render using orthographic cameras, or export V-Ray proxy mesh and animated scene files.

• Conducting research on agent-based methods for the fabrication-oriented design of adaptive modular concrete construction as part of the DFG-funded Priority Programme Adaptive Modular Construction Systems using Flow Production Methods – Rapid Precision Construction of Tomorrow (SPP 2187)
• Teaching master-level design studios and seminars on topics related to the research  
• Participating in the further development of the institute’s laboratories
